Ordinary people, because they are so focused on getting what they want, naturally become envious. And once envy and jealousy arise — because they cannot obtain what they want — it is very hard for them to undo it. They suffer. They struggle. They don’t know what to do.
Whereas Bodhisattvas know they have an antidote. When thoughts of jealousy and envy arise in their minds, they are immediately aware of them. Instead of looking at themselves like we do — instead of saying, “Why can’t I have that?” — they turn their attention to others.
They see how happy others are when good things happen to them, when they are able to obtain what they want. They become glad for the good fortune of others. That is what people with wisdom do. Instead of always plotting and scheming for themselves, they wish good things for others and want to help them. This is a mindset.
